Trail name! I am "Ink."

T-Suds gave me my trail name, "Ink," because I a] write a bunch on the trail b] have been a journalist and c] want to go back to school for writing.

It is jarring to hear yourself called by a different for the first few days, but it slowly grows on you until you become that person.

Trail names make me think of Viet Nam movies [Forest Gump: "Cleveland, he was from Detroit;" Rescue Dawn: "We call him Walkie-Talkie. He never speaks; never never"] and X-Men.
